Chapter 524: A New Siege
It was definitely Asabanor who used Dawn Academy. No matter how much the higher-ups of the academy thought about it, no one would have considered someone who had been dead for almost a century in their plans. Asabanor’s appearance had exceeded everyone’s calculations.
To a certain degree, the ones who let Asabanor out were Xiao Lin and Lilith, so Xiao Lin could not help but notice that all the problems he was facing at the moment seemed to have come from himself.
Feeling Xiao Lin’s frustration, Liang Taibai, who had a basic understanding of what happened in New Was.h.i.+ngton said, “There’s no way to change what has already happened. History is unchangeable, and no one can pin any blame on just one person. Just go think about how to defend the city. I’m planning on making you a legion commander.”
“What?” Xiao Lin was surprised. Liang Taibai had said that he would be made an officer, which was normal. Liang Taibai obviously did not trust the natives in a war, and was even more worried that Rosa’s officers might betray them. With that being the case, it was better for Dawn Academy’s own people to hold important ranks.
“But legion commanders need to command an entire legion.” Xiao Lin wanted to say that he was not qualified.
Liang Taibai asked, “I seem to remember that you are a monitor. You’ve partic.i.p.ated in monthly examinations before, right?”
Xiao Lin nodded. “That’s right.”
Liang Taibai then laughed, “Then you already have experience being in command. Isn’t that enough?”
Xiao Lin did not know what to say. “I only needed to command my cla.s.s during the monthly examinations. It was only a few dozen people.”
“How many do you think you will need to command here?”
Xiao Lin paused; based on Planet Norma’s standards, each legion usually had about ten to twenty thousand people, even going up to thirty, but there were only a few thousand crippled troops left in the city.
Liang Taibai gave Xiao Lin an overview of his plans. The first thing was to have Dawn Academy take control of the defensive systems in the city. That was a must, but even among the colonists, there were few that were completely trustworthy. After all, it was only an emba.s.sy, and the merchants in the city all had complicated backgrounds, some even coming from other academies.
That was why Xiao Lin being a commander was forced. Thankfully, Liang Taibai planned on allowing Xiao Lin to have helpers. Thinking about it, Liang Taibai teased, “You have a great relations.h.i.+p with Ibeiya. Only you can have her as a bridge for communication.”
Xiao Lin immediately understood. Liang Taibai wanted to get the dark races as well. In order to protect the city, they could not do without the power of those clans. Liang Taibai might represent Dawn Academy, but it was still hard for him to directly interact with the dark clans. Compared to that, thanks to Ibeiya, Xiao Lin was much more suitable.
In order for Xiao Lin to be in charge of that, they would need to give Xiao Lin an appropriate rank. Negotiating as a student was definitely not appropriate.
In the same vein, thanks to Ibeiya, Xiao Lin had the possibility of communicating directly with the royalty from a more trustworthy angle. Even if Xiao Lin suspected that that king, who did not care for Ibeiya, would really trust in him, and even if Xiao Lin felt like Liang Taibai was hiding something in that matter, he did not desperately need answers.
Liang Taibai was definitely an experienced amba.s.sador. In just one short day, he had thought about everything. After handing over the defense of the city to Xiao Lin and some others, he immediately contacted the colonist merchants in the city. It was not only those from Dawn Academy, he included the other academies as well.
It still looked early when they returned to the emba.s.sy, but Xiao Lin had immediately gone to bed after hurriedly eating something, since he would not be able to sleep that night. Not long after the sunset, Xiao Lin was woken up. The undead army had started their attack once night fell.
Xiao Lin had arranged for an a.s.sistant named Luo Jianhui. He was a polite-looking man with spectacles. Luo Jianhui was an aide in the emba.s.sy, but had never been in a military position. However, he was also a monitor back in the academy, and had commanded battles at that level. It might not be at the level of a legion, but there were no better choices at that point.
As they hurried to the gates, Xiao Lin opened his mouth. “I’m only a student. In truth, you should be the one acting as the legion commander.”
Luo Jianhui waved his hand, smiling. “I’ve been stuck in administration since graduating. It’s been a few years; I’m probably less familiar with combat than you at this point. Furthermore, we’re both monitors. We’d be formally at the same rank after you leave the academy. However, I heard you had good relations.h.i.+ps with the royalty and the dark clans, so you’re definitely more suited to it than me.”
“Are monitors treated better after graduation?”
“Of course; don’t treat being a monitor as nothing. When emergencies like this happen and a commander is needed, those who were monitors are always the first choice”
Now it was not as surprising that Liang Taibai had made Xiao Lin the commander of the guards. There were only two former monitors in the emba.s.sy: Luo Jianhui and Xiao Lin. Even Liang Taibai had not been a monitor.
Xiao Lin was not completely devoid of experience on this front. He remembered the orc supply depot during the third monthly examination and the experience he had defending it. However, the situation was more complicated and difficult this time.
Xiao Lin humbly discussed the matter with Luo Jianhui. The battle had just begun when they reached the gates. Under the searchlights, the wild undead army flooded toward the city walls like water, and the magical defense towers around the walls started to fire.
The high-level defense towers installed in the royal city had very far-reaching attacks, and they unleashed Gold-ranked flame spells. The bright b.a.l.l.s of flame had unimaginable power. Each ball would cause enemies in a hundred-meter radius to be disintegrated, and the flames that remained on the ground burned the corpses that did not have any anti-magic equipment.
Xiao Lin shouted out at the walls, but the high-ranked defensive towers had long firing intervals. Even if Dawn Academy already invented those with higher firing rates, the king had angered Dawn Academy, and the more advanced towers never reached the Rosa Kingdom.
Even so, each explosion still caused extreme damage to the undead. The enemies that forced their way through the sea of flames all had their armor melted, revealing rotten corpses.
